About Centro Histórico de São Francisco do Sul
The Historic Center of São Francisco do Sul brings together streets, squares and buildings that preserve different stages of the city's development. Its relationship with the Baía da Babitonga is evident in the location of the warehouses, the facades and the maritime landscape adjacent to the old core. The ensemble allows you to observe the urban heritage on a walk, without needing to enter every building.
Walk through the public space paying attention to current uses: there are residences, businesses and institutions, not a setting isolated from everyday life. Visits to museums or temples should follow each place's opening hours. Observe the buildings without blocking entrances and respect areas intended for local circulation. To enjoy the details of the facades, choose a time with natural light and take breaks during the walk, considering the paving of the historic streets.
